Lake Rosemound Inn is located 3 miles off Highway 61, 13 miles north of St. Francisville, midway between Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Natchez, Mississippi, in “Antebellum plantation country,” according to the owner. The Inn is on Lake Rosemound and is within minutes of St. Francisville and many of West Feliciana Parish's historical sites, including The Cottage, Afton Villa Gardens, Butler Greenwood, Greenwood Plantation, and The Myrtles. While staying at Lake Rosemound Inn guests can feel free to relax with a book, canoe on the lake, fish from the dock or along the property’s shoreline, or bring a bike and ride the rolling hills. In summer, patrons can swim from the sandy beach found on site. The establishment is approximately 45 minutes from the Tunica Falls Clark Creek nature trails.
The inn offers four guest rooms, which differ in terms of occupancy. The Rosemound Suite features a king bed and a trundle bed in front of a fireplace and a large bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub for two and a separate shower. The Feliciana Suite has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed, and one with a full bed, separated by a bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub for two with a shower in it. The Sunrise and Sunset Rooms each have queen beds and private bathrooms.
A commercial kitchen is available for guest use, along with a game room with a pool table and darts, a “help-yourself” ice cream parlor, and a ping pong table. While amenities such as hair dryers are not provided in the rooms, they are available in a common area for guests to use. Situated on five acres on a private 190-acre lake, Lake Rosemound Inn provides guests with access to the lake as well as a beach across the street. Fishing enthusiasts can catch various fish species, including bass, catfish, bream, and sac-a-lait. A canoe and paddle boat are available for guest use.
A “full country breakfast,” which includes frittata, bacon, sausage, and pancakes, is served to guests at 9:00 am, according to the owner. Accommodations for guests with food allergies or sensitivities are available upon request.
St. Francisville, located 13 miles from the inn, offers a variety of dining options. South of the Border restaurant, located on Highway 61 is 3 miles from the inn and serves southern dishes such as catfish, onion rings, and fried pickles.
Lake Rosemound Inn Bed & Breakfast is open year-round and experiences peak occupancy during the summer when families are drawn to the lake and surrounding attractions. The inn welcomes a diverse range of guests, including families, groups, and couples, according to the owner.
One guest appreciated the amenities that the inn has to offer and mentioned in a review, "We had the option to be off the grid and play board games, ping pong, billiards, etc., in addition to utilizing the common kitchen and eating a lot of ice cream. Jon was very cordial towards his visitors and made a very good breakfast for us."
The Lake Rosemound Inn Bed & Breakfast was initially built in 1963 as a clubhouse for the community. In 1992, the current owner, Jon Peters, purchased the property from the original builder and transformed it into a bed and breakfast. Jon mentions that the reason that he bought the property was because his mother wanted something to do in her retirement. Over the course of a year, renovations were undertaken to convert the clubhouse into a bed and breakfast. One wing of the building was converted into four guest rooms.
